PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Baker
International, a global leader in engineering, planning and
consulting services, announced today that the firm is implementing
a new organizational structure to Reimagine Michael Baker, which
will better position the company for accelerated growth and
broaden its capabilities, services and solutions over the next five
years to execute its vision of evolving to become a full-service
engineering and consulting firm. This requires the firm's leaders
and every colleague to redefine how the firm will protect and grow
its core business in Transportation, Bridge, Water, Planning,
Construction Services and other areas, while accelerating growth in
Federal and dramatically advancing innovative, technology-based
solutions. The firm will also attract new clients who benefit from
the company's expanded offerings in the consulting space to grow
and provide limitless opportunity for colleagues to develop
professionally and personally.
To affect this evolution, the company established an Executive
Committee (EC) led by Chief Executive Officer, Brian A. Lutes, that will focus on driving the
company's strategy of short- and long-term growth objectives. Three
newly appointed Presidents join Mr. Lutes and the firm's Chief
Financial Officer, Amy N. Davis, to
comprise the new EC: Kent Zinn, P.E., S.E., has been promoted to
President, Infrastructure James E. Koch, Ph.D., P.E., has been
elevated to President, Federal Programs and Services; and
Dan Kieny has been named President,
Consulting and Technology Solutions.
"Our company's goal is to constantly evolve, grow and improve,
and our new organizational structure and enabling strategies
reinforce our commitment to Reimagine Michael Baker and partner
with our clients to uniquely employ various technology solutions to
reinvigorate and reinvent our nation's infrastructure," said
Thomas J. Campbell, Chairman at
Michael Baker International and Founder and Managing Partner at DC
Capital Partners. "There are myriad opportunities in our sector,
challenged by unprecedented complexities, and we must leverage our
capabilities to seize the limitless possibilities ahead."
Michael Baker possesses
long-established relationships with departments of transportation
across the country and Federal clients that span its nearly entire
82-year history. The firm has many aggressive avenues for growth
with new opportunities within its DATAMARK business, the public
safety geographic information systems team within Michael Baker; by leveraging the firm's strong
position in the growing broadband infrastructure segment; by
capturing more structural engineering projects; by increasing work
in Mechanical Electric Plumbing (MEP) and fire protection as well
as deepening its portfolio in asset management services, including
data processing and analysis, Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine
Learning (ML), enhancing workflow capability and automation, among
others.
"To Reimagine Michael Baker, we will boldly move forward with
the goal of serving our clients with expanded offerings, harnessing
technology that differentiates the solutions we deliver and
providing additional personal and professional growth opportunities
for our employees, while continuing to reinvest in new training and
incentive compensation," said Brian A.
Lutes, Chief Executive Officer at Michael Baker
International.
The firm will encourage initiative and out-of-the-box thinking
and provide better recognition and accelerated advancement for its
talented people. The firm's strategic intent to Reimagine Michael
Baker will require enhanced collaboration among colleagues across
the company and bold thinking and action to emphasize deeper
connections with its clients to bring to bear the strength of
Michael Baker's international
expertise and its trusted local relationships.
